gt68xx.CHANGES -*-text-*-

V 1.0.79 (2005-12-09)

* Silenced warning when scan is cancelled.
* Silenced often non-fatal check_result error messages.
* Reduced timeout for cancelling a scan. Some scanners freeze for 30 seconds
  otherwise. Repeat is_moving test even if an error was received.
* Run fix_descriptors before cancelling the scan. Without that, some gt6816
  scanners are not detected anymore after closing the device.
* Fixed wait_lamp_stable. Wait for a maximum time of 60 seconds. Print
  warming up message after 5 seconds. Print how long warming up took.
* For Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB, use more intelligent warm-up mechanism. The 
  brightness for this scanner first decreases and then increases again. With the
  previous logic the scanner always warmed up for at least 10 seconds even if it
  wasn't necessary.
* Warm up lamp also when changing from flatbed to transparency. Without this the
  lamp may be too dark directly after changing the source.
* Decreased scan width of Plustek OpticPro 1248U. This fixes some strange color
  artifacts and results in less backtracking in some modes.

V 1.0.78 (2005-10-16)

* Minor modifications to sheet-fed scanner support.

V 1.0.77 (2005-09-29)

* Added support for Plustek OpticSlim M12 (untested). Based on patch from
  Gerhard Jaeger <gerhard@gjaeger.de>. 
* Fixed gt68xx homepage links in man page. Changed minimum version of libusb
  to 0.1.8.

V 1.0.76 (2005-09-18)

* Fixed segfault that may happen with Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB.

V 1.0.75 (2005-09-01)

* Genius ColorPage Vivid 1200 X is reported to work.
* Genius ColorPage Vivid 4 XE seems to be the same as 4 X, it just doesn't have
  buttons.
* Cleanup of .desc file.
* Fixed gain setting.
* Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB 600 dpi color scanning works now.

V 1.0.74 (2005-08-20)

* Increased number limit of scanners that can work with this backend to 50.
* Added support for Genius ColorPage Vivid 1200 X (untested).

V 1.0.73 (2005-08-19)

* Enabled GT68XX_FLAG_NO_STOP for Mustek BearPaw 2400 CU Plus. Some of these
  scanners don't seem to like that command.

V 1.0.72 (2005-08-18)

* Finally fixed the problem concerning scanning on *BSD. Scanning only worked
  once. After that, the scanner wasn't even detected anymore beacuse the config
  descriptor returned by the device was corrupted. This is a hardware bug. When
  filling the internal memory of the scanner completely, the config descriptor
  is overwritten. The work-around is to ask the scanner for the device
  descriptor before closing the device. This rewrites also the config descriptor
  to the memory of the scanner.
* Fixed compilation warnings.

V 1.0.71 (2005-07-10) Included in sane-backends 1.0.16

* Changed resolution from 75 to 100 dpi and changed 16 bit/color to 12 based on
  a user report for the Visioneer OneTouch 7300. Updated .desc.
* Moved check for stable lamp to its own function.
* Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB: Use CIS calibration. Use lamp warmup.
* Fixed CCD on GT6801 scanning (color scanning was broken due to a change in
  motormode_2.

V 1.0.67 (2004-11-14)

* Fixed test to move home sensor at the start of scan.
* Fixed gray mode linemode test. That stopped e.g. the Plustek OpticPro U 16 B
  from working in gray mode.

V 1.0.66 (2004-10-31)

* Removed unused gain and offset options.

V 1.0.65 (2004-10-11)

V 1.0-61 (2004-06-18)

* General:
  * Re-enabled forked reader process when fork is not disabled. That's faster
    with high resolutions and big scan widths.
  * In gray and lineart mode the color to be used can be selected now.
  * Resolution and depth lists are now in the "correct" order.
  * Fixed "move to the end" bug when full scan is enabled.
  * Used SANE_VALUE_SCAN_MODE_* macros.
  * Added debugging code for brightness/calibration.
  * Changed status of Genius Colorpage Vivid4x too good.
  * Removed special command set for U16B (and Genesys Vivid4) as those scanners
    are quite normal GT6816 devices.
  * Removed special test for gt6816, 600 dpi, 16 bits -> linemode. The other
    tests should change the settings to linemode if necessary.
  * Added flag to indicate that a scanner doesn't support linemode. Print an error
    if linemode is activated for that sort of scanners.
  * Adjusted various debug levels.

  * Changed limits.
  * Changed debug messages.
  * Incresed exposure count.
  * Removed special lamp-warmup in CIS calibration.

- Artec Ultima 2000, MD 9385: Removed 1200 dpi mode (doesn't seem to work?),
  added 100 and 200 dpi modes. Renamed model to Artec Ultima 2000, because
  that's probably the "father" of all the clones.
- Mustek BearPaw 1200 CU: Added 200 dpi mode.
- Added manual page.
- Removed override for Packard Bell (seems to be exact Bearpaw 1200 CU Plus
  clone).

V 1.0-15 (2002-09-27)

- Low level reading is done in a separate process now (shm is back). Some
  scanners should be faster therefore.
- Added option "force backtracking". If disabled, no backtracking occurs
  (->faster, but lines are lost).

- Added Lineart (black/white) mode.
- Added warming-up for CCD lamps and an option to disable shutting off the
  lamp.
- Print scanning time (debug level 3).
- Removed "safe preview". Not longer necessary.

V 1.0-13 (2002-09-25)

- Major rewrite of the low level scan setup functions. Probably has broken
  some of the supported scanners.
- Geometry in the model struct is in mm now. Values for most scanners are
  untested.
- Added support for Mustek Bearpaw 2400 CU Plus.
- CCD lamp is turned on when opening the frontend and turned off when leaving.
- Auto gain is done only for the first scan.
- Manual gain etc. options don't show up in automatic mode.
- Faster automatic gain.
- Bugfixes: gain/offset options, moving top-margin and exposure control.

V 1.0-12 (2002-09-23)

- Fixed bug concerning too little data transferred in sane_read.
- Added detection of the Packard Bell Diamond 1200.
- Changed some scanner names and added support for custom names in config file.
- Use the size of the scan area in the model struct. This value may need
  some tweaking for the gt6816 scanners.
- Fixed the size of scanarea for the BearPaw 1200 CU/ScanEpress 1200 UB Plus
- Disabled 16 bit mode for GT-6801 scanners. This isn't even supported by the
  Windows driver.
- General code cleanup. Removed gt68xx_mustek.c and SHM support.
- Made the .tar.gz file size smaller.

V 1.0-11 (2002-09-22)

- 1200 dpi works now at least for the BearPaw 1200 CU. Maybe also for the
  other scanners.
- Added manual and automatic offset/gain/exposure control for the CIS
  scanners. The image should be better now.
- Added debug option to scan the full scan area including the calibration
  strip.

V 1.0-10 (2002-09-18)

- 50, 75, 150, 300, 600 work now for the GT6801 scanners

- The gt68xx_test program can be used again

V 1.0-9 (2002-09-17)

- Added option to disable automatic gain (->less ugly colors for GT-6801
  based models)
- Fixed segfault that occured when a scan was cancelled
- Preview uses slow but safe (?) 300 dpi 8 bit modes now
- Fixed bug concerning X0/Y0 coordinates
- Started implementing dpeth option (doesn't work yet)
- Internal changes (use high_scan's wait_for_positioning)

V 1.0-8 (2002-09-16)

- Fixed distortion problem in color mode
- Selected safer default option values
- Changed file names to be more appropriate for SANE

V 1.0-7 (2002-09-16)
